Chik-Wauk Museum & Nature Center hosts Lonnie Dupre for a presentation “Greenland Then and Now” on Sunday, July 30 from 2 – 3 pm.

It has been 21 years since Lonnie Dupre and John Hoelscher completed the first and only circumnavigation of Greenland; a 6,500-mile journey all non-motorized by dog team and kayak. In 2022 Dupre went back to NW Greenland to document through film the Polar Inuit culture. Traveling from village to village by dog team, Dupre re-connected with his past polar Inuit friends to find out how their culture has changed because of climate change and modernization over the last two decades.
